New Hampshire Murder Rate Increases In 2005

According to an article in the Union Leader (http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/N/NH_2005_HOMICIDES_NHOL-?SITE=NHMAL&SECTION=STATE&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT), the murder rate in New Hampshire rocketed to 20, up markedly from 18 in 2004.

Keep it up, though, and we might beat the whole city of Boston! They only had 29 murders in 2005.

Most weren't even gun-related.

Eight of those (40%) were domestic violence, and in earlier articles I read, some of those and the others were directly attributable to heroin coming in through Massachusetts, because MA is all into revolving-door justice and not punishing dealers.

There's your source of violence.

Mass. politicos have been complaining that guns from NH are responsible for all of their crime. Since NH failed to institue Massh@l3 style gun control to please them, they decided to send some druggies your way.

Hmmm. Menino blames Boston crime on NH guns, and now we hear someone blaming NH crime on Mass. drugs.
Come on gents. The criminal is to blame.
